The Quest

A friend, Marta Lane, posted this reminder on her blog (Follow My Dream.blogspot.com): Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. He was a very wise man who makes very tasty bagels....What? Oh, sorry, not the same Einstein. Well, Marta's blog is about the dream she and her husband, Dan, had to simplify their lives and move to Hawaii. She is a great writer and I really enjoy her stories. This poem is about being active, not passive, when it comes to things that must be done.

The QuestI can see a horse at sunsetwith a cowboy riding west.See him wave to those he’s leavingas he takes off on his questto find what he’s been missing;to cure what gnaws insidethat’s kept him so dern restlessand so unsatisfied. He’s tired of Technicolor and just wants black and white where truth cannot be shaded; things are either wrong or right.I imagine I’m that cowboy;that I have the guts to goand live outside my comfort zonein a way that truly showsthat I believe God loves me. And if I let Him lead,my needs will all be satisfiedand I’ll be blessed indeed. I’m tired of straddling fences. It’s time I took a stand and lived life telling others of the glory that God’s planned.I’m tired of worldly worshipthat panders to the lost.The Bible says God’s drawn a linethat none of us should cross.There is glory when “The Son” shinesas we’re riding for God’s brandwith love and understandingand a pair of helping hands. Eternal life for everyone should be our quest, of course. So, remember why you’re riding; God can’t lead a stabled horse.
